Hell yeah, and forget even just individual songs, I tend to gravitate toward whole-album bangers and continue to find thoroughly dope and delicious stuff.
Xoth - “Exogalactic”
Clipse - “Let God Sort Em Out”
Two (somewhat different 😅) ones I’ve been getting just hours and hours of cover-to-cover listening mileage outta lately, for reference. Even got the Xoth one (new folks to me) from someone on Lemmy 😎
Sounds like we have similar taste. I really dig that Clipse album and while I haven’t listened to Xoth, I love tech death: Necrophagist, Fallujah, Archspire, Inferi, Ulcerate, Revocation, Cryptopsy, Cognitive (underrated!), Eschaton (also underrated!)
I’m also an album guy, active music nerd on rateyourmusic. 👍
So I guess I’m saying based on those two picks and your pro-album taste I think you sound cool, lol
You’ve given me some work to do and I’m only half happy about it, hahaha. But a buncha those are familiar (lovely).
To add a ridiculously great recent full-album-dope, sounding both “newer” and “older” than I can really imagine a death metal record sounding today, as I like to call em, “The Sangui Boggi Boyz” (a la “The Soggy Bottom Boys”) -
Sanguisugabogg - “Hideous Aftermath”
It’s gross and rad. Ya prolly already know lol, but hey.
Ya know, I definitely know of Sanguisugabogg and have heard a couple songs (Dead As Shit is badass), but they’ve been on my deep listen list for awhile and I haven’t listened to any of their albums yet. I’ll push them up in priority on your recommendation!
You’ll notice I said some. I would also say some of the best was from before I was born as well. I think art is as intrinsic to humanity as breathing and it is something we will continue to do with gusto and success forever.
Notable that this is only popular music. You might be surprised to find you follow the same trend if asked to rate Taylor Swift compared to Modest Mouse or something.
They are operating under the assumption that the “best music of your life” that you’re talking about does not have significant overlap with current top hits. If that assumption holds true then you may well follow the trend shown when asked to rate hit music.
Gotcha gotcha gotcha. Yes, I agree; these always filter towards the average, which is definitionally your primarily pop music listener and thus the subject group becomes that artist set
They beat me to it haha! People into jazz, classical, world music, progressive metal, etc would certainly rate things vastly differently from people who listen to pop music alone. These studies only target the averagest of persons.
Same bud. There’s so, soooooo much great music being made right now. Some of it’s on the radio, some of it is obscure as fuck. Doesn’t matter. You just gotta fucking open your ears and listen.
I’m 41 and I think some of the best music of my life has released in the past few years, personally 🤷♂️

Honestly same. This one goes hard tho! Cheers.
I’m a few years older. I think the best music was from before I was born 🤷
Hundreds of years before I was born, yes

I don’t think I fully understand what you mean by this, can you clarify?

I’m 31 and some of the best music I ever heard was made with vocaloids.
